The workshop will be held at Hotel Lemon Tree, Patna.

Stryker is a leading medical device company headquartered in the US and Vattikuti Technologies is Stryker's strategic partner for Mako in India.

Dr Ashish Singh, Consultant, Anup Institute of Orthopaedics and Rehabilitation will facilitate the clinical discussions and demonstration on Mako robotic-arm assisted surgery system. RoboTech is expected to be attended by over 100 Orthopaedics experts from Bihar and Jharkhand.

"We are excited to have Mako at RoboTech. Mako System, the most advanced technology in joint replacement transforms the way knee and hip replacements are performed. We are looking forward to an exciting workshop with this revolutionary technology that will help bring improved predictability and accuracy", said Dr Singh.

"The incidence of arthritis is seeing an increase due to primary causes that include sedentary lifestyle, changing and deteriorating nutritional pattern and longer life span.
